On the local board the sample tables were
fairly well covered with milling wheat and
city milers were picking up a good share of
it. Several Of the mills have shut down and
others are making arrangements to do so
next week. There is a better inquiry for No.
l hard and nearly all the samples of that
grace sold at a shade advance over Thursday.
Prices generally were about the same. Offer
ings of corn were light and oats only mod

Flour-The flour market continues slow, but
prices are possibly hardening in sympathy
with the late frmness in wheat. There is no
lack of water now, but the advance in freight
rates and the higher cost Of wheat make up q
case against millers that they find a difficulty
in successfully meeting. The result of it is
that several mills are shut, down for repairs
and more of them will do so. Generally these
repairs are, perhaps, needed, but needed re-
pairs are a little too common to be purely ac-
cidental if there were not in the
market features that make them
accommodating and welcome visitors.
